WR Case & Sons Cutlery Co. Solingen, Germany

[hasstar]

I just acquired a WR Case and Sons razor. On one side of the Tang is stamped “Tested XX Stainless” on the other side of the Tang is W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Co. and a very small stamp Solingen, Germany” Can anyone date this Razor? The closest thing I found was around 1920. Very nice bone scales

Thanks,
Harry

Harry, just to to the top-right, find the search-box, and type it in. Lots of threads and info on Case here.
In particular, this thread; http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...llow-conn.html stands out with tons of info on the Case family with lots of links and info. Just need to read through it all!

You will see old WR was always leaning toward a profit. Hence, he had German makers and others do blades for him at a time when 'Germany" was required to be put upon the razor.

Pre WWII, certainly, and I think 1920's 30's.

Would like to see pictures of this razor and possibly the razor box. Reason being that Parker, had razors made in Solingen with the case trademarks, and yours might be one of them. James Franklin Parker acquired the Case company and trademarks in 1989, he was the owner of the Parker Cutlery company.

Yep. Pictures are everything, Martin!

So you say you now have an W.R. Case razor?
Without pictures, it didn't happen.
